‘All American: Homecoming’ Creator Had to Change ‘Maybe One Line’ to Make Season 3 Finale Feel ‘Like a Satisfying End’

When showrunner, creator and executive producer Nkechi Okoro Carroll learned that “All American: Homecoming” wouldn’t be renewed for a fourth season, she only had to change one line to make the Season 3 finale feel “like a satisfying end.”

“I think literally I lifted maybe one line in the final episode, because we were still finishing up post,” Carroll told TheWrap. “So it all worked out very conveniently.”

A spin-off of the CW drama “All American,” “Homecoming” first premiered in 2022. The sports drama followed the story of Simone Hicks (Geffri Maya), a young woman who attends the historically Black college of Bringston University to pursue her dreams of becoming a pro tennis player.
